Lincoln Navigator Concept Unveiled in New York

Posted by: Kenny Chan onMarch 23rd, 2016

Last year in New York Lincoln stole the show with its Continental Concept and this year they’ve lived up to the hype and unveiled a Navigator Concept complete with a set of powered gull-wing doors and steps. While the overly dramatic gull-wing doors likely won’t make it to production (or maybe they will with Tesla’s Model X coming to market?), the Navigator Concept does give us a taste of what is to come in the production version including the most spacious interior in the nameplate’s history.

“The all-new Navigator Concept reinforces our commitment to give every Lincoln client what we call quiet luxury – vehicles and experiences that are elegant, effortlessly powerful and serene,” said Kumar Galhotra, president of Lincoln. “This kind of quiet luxury sets Lincoln apart. Now, we’re showing fans of large SUVs how we can exceed their expectations, without being the loudest statement on the road.” – See more at: https://media.lincoln.com/content/lincolnmedia/lna/us/en/navigator-concept.html#sthash.5KoPnGMa.dpuf

As they step inside through the large opening provided by the gull-wing doors and step inside via the powered steps that deploy, passengers are greeted with 6 “perfect-position” seats with 30-way adjustability. The driver’s seat adds independently adjustable thigh supports. There are a total of 5 large screens, 1 in the center console for access to vehicle setup and navigation and one on each of the seat backs so all passengers will be entertained on trips.

Under the hood lies a 3.5L twin-turbo V6 pumping out over 400 horsepower. Driver’s can select various drive modes which adjust the suspension, steering and noise levels.
